There were connections Liam could utilise, friends and acquaintances who’d help him out even if they weren’t supposed to. Paedophiles were the most reviled criminals in law enforcement. There were plenty of people who would eagerly and illegally help trace down the men who’d molested Billy. First, though, he needed to take care of Billy. Hopefully he would take Liam’s suggestion well, in the caring manner it was made. Liam left the bedroom, where he’d gone to make some calls without waking Billy up. Billy was still asleep on the couch, his lashes fanning his cheeks and his lips parted just enough so Liam could see the darker pink of his tongue. He curled his hands up under his chin, and he looked so young and innocent it broke Liam’s heart to think of Billy being abused and neglected, treated like he didn’t matter at all. Billy deserved more love than he’d ever got, and Liam intended to see to it Billy never lacked for loving again. And Xavier, well Liam owed him a huge thank you.
